Popped over here for lunch. They were super busy , which was to be expected. A bit noisy but nothing too bothersome. Grabbed a seat at the actual bar because the sushi bar was full. I was seated next to a bunch of boxes that blocked where bar service was - to be honest I think thats super tacky , boxes should be put away NOT out for customers to see , let alone sit next to... waitress was sweet enough but my nigiri order came out before my edamame and before I even had a glass of water I didn't even have wasabi or ginger so clearly the timing today wasn't stellar, but let me say that the sushi was delicious , it was so good that I decided to order more. The length of time it took for that order was ridiculous and I had to ask somebody what exactly was going on because my waitress disappeared. I could see over to the sushi bar orders were piling up but the chefs were just shooting the breeze - there is no sense of urgency to get anybody their food . There was a gentleman also sitting at the bar who had waited 30 minutes for his lunch special it just didn't make a whole lot of sense. One thing I think is that sushi should be served as quickly as possible. Just a little critique because I'm bougie living in LA for 20 years I ate sushi 2 x a week ... Spicy tuna should be made with mayo and siracha! Katsuya in Studio City, CA has some of the best spicy tuna on crispy rice I've ever had in my life , I beg of you please look up that recipe! I promise your customers will thank me and YOU! I would love to go back here. Try it again maybe even this time sit at a table perhaps that would help with service ? Overall Lily Sushi Bar has a good thing , but they need to work to be better ! read more

We loved this place so much that we came here twice in the same week! I'd highly recommend making a reservation because seating is limited and it gets crowded everyday especially on Friday and Saturday. This restaurant is clean and the rolls came out fresh, one at a time which I loved. We started with a salad with ginger dressing and some edamame. Both appetizers were delicious! We also ordered 4 rolls. The Kenzo roll, Caterpillar Roll, Volcano Roll and Kyoto Roll. My personal favorite was the Kyoto Roll and I requested the salmon on top to be fully cooked (not a problem). Also loved the Volcano roll as it came with a side of fire for coolness effect! We can't wait to come back and highly recommend this sushi spot in Alpharetta! read more

We had lunch here on a Saturday. I didn't know when I made the reservation that the last call for ordering would be so soon (wish there was a warning on the reservation app), so we didn't end up ordering enough and wished we could have ordered more. It's a cute restaurant! The food we did order was great! We order the Hamachi, Toro, Kyoto Roll, and Fuji Roll. read more

I have been wanting to come here for sushi and it did not disappoint!! We came here on a Monday night for a friend's birthday! There was plenty of parking but I know it can fill up because it was busy in the Maxwell. We made a reservation on resy and we were sat at a table soon as we arrived. We started with a bottle of wine- a Pinot noir and it was great with the sushi's. We got 8 piece nigiri and 3 rolls- spicy tuna crispy rice, sakura and Kyoto roll. We got a salad with the nigiri and the ginger dressing was so fresh and good. Everything was delicious. I love the various nigiri and the rolls are all good in their own way. It was hard to choose a favorite. We had a lovely time and they have outdoor seating that's perfect for a beautiful weather. We will be back to try their other items! read more

Great sushi spot outside of Atlanta! The sushi is soo fresh and high quality. My favorites were the Toro, Otoro, Chutoro, and Sake for the nigiri. The crispy tuna rice and Sakura roll were also very good! It's a small and intimate interior, nothing too upscale. Service was also great - we were having a celebratory lunch and they brought us some mochi icecream after our meal. I wish it was closer to the city or I'd be here more often! read more

We are big fans of Lily Sushi. It is located right near downtown Alpharetta in the Maxwell and there are plenty of parking options and valet, if needed. The service is always exceptional and the servers are always professional and attentive. The sushi is some of our favorite, and always super fresh! They have the best ginger salad (the ginger dressing is divine). The signature nigiri is so good and the sushi rolls are *chefs kiss*. It's the perfect cozy date night spot or a casual patio location for sushi. read more

We made reservations for a Saturday morning, there wasn't much availability and the restaurant was crowded when we arrived. The service was excellent so I think they limit reservations to allow for walk in availability. Everything was delicious melt in your mouth. The sushi was so fresh and the flavors were amazing. The restaurant is gorgeous inside. We will be back again read more

I have seen Lily Sushi Bar pop up several times and took that as a sign to go here for a belated birthday celebration for me! My friend treated me to a wonderful meal with great service and a little birthday surprise at the end! The area is very small and kind of cramped so definitely make a reservation. I gave up boozy drinks for Lent so they gave me non boozy options so I had an iced green tea with simple syrup on the side to add sweetness. I started with the tuna tartar which was delicious but I wanted more! It was so small! For my entree I had the Tokyo roll which was also delicious. And for the birthday surprise- a sparkler with three delicious little mochi! What a sweet end to a wonderful girls night out. I would like to come back and try more of the menu- and a cocktail after Lent! read more

Nice sushi spot in Alpharetta. They have lunch specials which is great ! All the sushi was fresh and not fishy tasting at all. Went down easily and service is quick. Pricing is a little bit high but expected in this area and location. Make reservations for lunch if you want table as they are fully booked and busy when I went on a regular Wednesday afternoon. Parking is shared and limited to the area but quick walk to any shop available read more

I've eaten at Lily Sushi Bar 2 times and have really enjoyed each visit. The inside is cozy and servers are always nice. I've been during lunch time so not sure how busy it can get but I prefer to be there when it's quiet to sit at the bar. I always get a different roll that the server recommends to figure out my preferences and decided I'm not a fan of a bunch of crunch stuff in top of sushi, it's too distracting and weird. Other than that the sushi is always fresh and the miso soup is a great appetizer. read more

I came here with my sister. Food is a bit expensive for what you get, compared to other top Sashimi restaurants. What i don't like is when I say "Thank you". The waitstaff is supposed to say "you are welcome". Not "No problem". It's not proper response. It is very low class. Not good mannerism. You work for a fine restaurant and you respond as if you are working at home depot. Even people in Home depot respond saying "you are welcome", when someone says Thank You. You only say "no problem" if i ask you if it is a problem to bring me more tea. Anyway that shows you the kind of training communication between upper management and staff. It is very important to communicate with your customers the correct way. Other than that, food is decent. read more

This place is awesome. Service is really above and beyond. They bring out warm towels for you to wipe your hands, they gave us a little basket for my mom's purse, and even unwrapped our napkins and put them in our laps! They are so nice and very knowledgeable on gluten free items. And the sushi- wow. It's on another level here. The decor and vibes are immaculate, it's small and intimate in there. Fresh roses on every table. Love it!!! read more

Lily Sushi Bar is my new favorite sushi spot! The signature nigiri is like nothing I've ever had before. The toro is so creamy and melt in your mouth and the seared salmon belly was delicious. The restaurant is on the smaller side and the interior tables are a little close together so it provides an intimate setting. During peak hours it can get a little loud depending on your neighbors. Our waiter was amazing and very attentive and gave us time to place a few orders because we couldn't make a decision. The parking lot is free but a little small so be aware! It's next to Fairway social so it can get crowded. read more

My husband and I came to Lily Sushi Bar for his birthday I made the reservation through Resy and was so glad that I did, even for a Wednesday. Photos of the inside do not do it justice, as it was very romantic & perfect for a birthday dinner. We loved everything. Started out with Miso Soup, and from that we knew the sushi would be good. We got Spicy Tuna Crisoy Rice, Avocado Roll, Sakura Roll, and Salmon & Tuna Lover. It was all amazing. George and Ben were also very nice! They brought out Mochi ice cream and a sparkler for my husband's birthday, which was the cutest little surprise. read more

First off, it was my birthday! This was our first trip to lilys sushi bar. We heard so many good things so we traveled an hour to be here. Brian IS the best! We love him lol we will be back for him alone but the fish was super fresh! Every single signature nigiri we had was amazing. Every roll we had was perfection. I, as the birthday girl, am so pleased! The entire staff was friendly and if I could fan the sushi chefs and feed them grapes I would! I will be recommending this restaurant to all of my friends. We wish we took more pictures but we were so excited and ate everything as it came lol read more

Loved this sushi place- my husband and I came here at 1pm on a Saturday hoping to grab late lunch and the sushi was fire the only negative thing about it was during peak lunchtime they lacked servers and the sushi took a while to come out- I was hoping to be in and out as we ordered the food as we sat down. Other than this, sushi was fresh and will be back. Sakura roll and Rainbow roll was so yummy read more

This has been on our list for a while and so glad we got to check it out. The place I take is very nice and cozy. There is free parking available. The service was spectacular. We were handed warm hand towels after ordering. The food was served fairly quickly and the server was super helpful with making choices. We ended up getting the Sakura Roll which was absolutely delicious. Might be up there on the favorites list. The salmon hand rolls and salmon skin roll were nothing exceptional but the fish was so fresh and these were perfect for filler rolls. The nigiri was also super fresh and delicious. We will be back as we absolutely loved it! read more

The flavors here are still 10/10, especially the signature Otoro, which has always been a favorite. That said, the presentation wasn't quite as refined this time, and four out of the eight pieces I ordered had loosely packed rice that fell apart too easily. A bit disappointing compared to past visits. On the bright side, service was great and the Uni was incredibly fresh. Our waitress recommended the Sakura roll (which we loved), and my usual spicy tuna crispy roll hit the spot as always. Still a wonderful spot overall, just hoping the consistency in presentation and prep gets back to what I've come to expect from them. read more

If you want amazing sushi and drinks with a greta staff to serve look no further than Lily sushi. We can't eat enough here.

| A Sushi Experience Worth Every Penny I've had a lot of sushi in my life, but this spot? Next level. Every bite was a masterclass in freshness, balance, and precision--easily among the best sushi experiences I've ever had. Yes, it's on the pricier side, but absolutely worth it for the quality, craftsmanship, and overall experience. Beyond the food, the ambiance is spot-on--perfect for a date night. Plus, being at THE MAXWELL means you get the added bonus of a vibrant, walkable atmosphere that elevates the entire night. If you're a sushi lover, this place is a must. Highly recommend! read more

My second lunch here was less enjoyable, as it took a long time to order and an even longer time to be served. My host opined that the usual staff and manager were missing as they were opening a second branch. I ordered the 15-piece sashimi again, but only 12 pieces were delivered at first. The addition pieces were coming right up, but only appeared after we asked. We also had to ask for the wasabi/ginger separately. The fish was very good. I noticed that they had real wasabi (not the green horseradish) on the menu, but wanted $8 for a serving. In my view, a restaurant that aspires to being top level needs to use the real thing. The background music being played is annoying. read more

This is my third time visiting Lily. I wanted to write a review because of their excellent food and service this time. We went for anniversary on saturday and ordered omakase $150. I had omakase in different high end restaurants like Hawakaya. Though i loved their experiences, it's more once in a lifetime experience due to price.But for Lily, their price seemed more reasonable to me. Just enough food for me. I would definitely return for another omakase. Of course they have very fresh sashimi and nigiri but Their best quality of their nigiri and apps are how they season their food!! Every time I go, i am just mesmerized by their combination of toppings and seasoning on their foods. I usually dont order scallop due to freshness but theirs surprised me. Their price is not cheap but if you try their food, you wont regret having their food. Also huge compliment to our server. I am really bad with names but hands down best server I had. Our receipt said Kelly. We never had to ask for anything, she knew what we were short of and served. foods were cleaned right away and serviced right away. We dont want too much time in between meals and it was served perfectly like she was keep eyeing our table. She made all this experience so personable. Made huge difference in a restaurant experience. I wanted to visit again in September because the 2 hours were so pleasing!! Difficult to take kids to enjoy as a family as there is not much to order for the kids who dont eat nigiri or rolls. But i would definitely go back to them whenever i can go out without kids. read more

Our daughter who was visiting from Texas discovered Lily's on Tik Tock and said it had great reviews!! Everyone enjoyed their lunch special which was a choice of a couple different rolls. We chose the Shrimp Roll and the California Roll and they were delish!! Our son-in-law had a plate with 4 different Sashimi - scallops, tuna, a white fish (not sure what kind) and salmon. Tuna is usually his fav but this tuna he didn't care for as much. He seemed to think it was more fatty than he is use to enjoying. However all the other fish he thoroughly liked! He also had the spicy tuna roll and said it was delicious. We had a lovely outdoor table since the weather was warm and sunny with a very kind and attentive server...Clarissa. We definitely will be back to enjoy the wonderful sushi and service!! By the way, during lunch it was crowded inside and no tables available for our party of 5, but outside on the patio was great. read more

Lily's has quickly become my new favorite sushi spot in the Alpharetta area. It's literally always packed, even for lunch, so it's recommended to book reservations in advance. I got lucky this most recent time and was able to walk in with a friend during lunch on a Monday and we got two seats at the sushi bar. Sometimes I even like that better than a table. When I say this is some of the best sushi I've ever had, I truly mean it. They offer the highest quality ingredients and fish flown in straight from Japan. Even their ginger dressing on their house salad is out of this world. I really tried to branch out and try some new things, and the King of the Sea roll was probably my favorite. First time I've tried lobster and it was delicious! The roll has lobster tempura, light mayo, cucumber topped with shrimp, snow crab avocado and eel sauce. We also ordered the Caterpillar roll, Sakura roll, and the Spicy Tuna Tartar which had quail egg on the side to pour over top. They also make sure that customers have an elevated experience by constantly coming by to clear out plates for more elbow room, refresh your water, clean the surfaces in between dishes, and they even lay your napkin on your lap for you. Overall, I had a lovely experience and thought it was worth every penny. I honestly do not have one complaint and would recommend this sushi bar to any other fellow sushi lover! read more

After a suggestion from a peer I met someone here as I was wanted sushi and I had never been here. The hostess was nice and tried to be accommodating as I didn't have reservations and was a walk in. I started an appetizer with Thinly Sliced Yellowtail, which was good but not that shareable or a lot like I imagined with going to other places. I ordered the Sakura roll which was amazing but was not full as the roll was not a bigger, thicker roll but I decided to try the Kyoto roll which I didn't enjoy as much. I only had water with lemon, and they came with the bill and then shortly we were asked to leave because they had reservations and people waiting. I've never dealt with that before and wish that was told before dining there as that changed my whole view and experience. The place is small and tight, but nice inside but I don't like the feeling of being rushed especially after I spent almost $60 myself alone. read more

My friend and I crashed into Lily crosseyed with extremely empty stomachs and - worse - empty glasses. Fortunately for me (the visiting country mouse), she's a regular and got us set up post haste with all the best things. We were both big fans of the Cherry Blossom cocktails, which were vodka, strawberry, basil, & sour and dangerously easy drinking, but the rolls eclipsed everything. I loved the signature Hamachi nigiri and the crunchy yellowtail roll, but there is a reason everyone goes to Lily for the otoro... and you should too. read more

Lily Sushi Bar is a TOP TIER sushi spot in Alpharetta that you definitely want to check out. Our first experience did not go so well, but the staff quickly made up for it. Here's what happened. We had a reservation for the patio at 7pm on a Thursday. Upon arriving and being seated -- we waited close to 15 minutes before anyone greeted us. After watching several servers walk by us multiple times while we were sitting there, we decided to just get up and leave. Two days later, I received an email from the owner saying she had found out that we left without ever being acknowledged and sincerely apologized. She even went so far as to check the video footage to see exactly what happened. After apologizing, she offered a gift card and invited us back. We graciously accepted and ao glad we did! Our 2nd experience was perfect! Attentive servers, incredible flavor combinations in the rolls we had and very well mixed cocktails. We were not disappointed and will definitely be back. I highly recommend the Fuji Roll and the Call Me Old Fashioned cocktail. read more
